Abstract

The report presents the findings from research undertaken by LSE Library and Centre for Learning Technology to investigate information and digital literacy support for undergraduate students using the newly developed ANCIL (A New Curriculum of Information Literacy) framework to survey provision across the School, including support services and academic departments. The project aimed to: · map existing information literacy support for undergraduates offered by the various academic and support departments at LSE · highlight existing examples of good practice · identify any significant gaps in provision · benchmark existing provision against the ANCIL framework (optional and compulsory) · better understand the role of Academic Support Librarians in supporting undergraduate students.
